I'm pretty sure I have contracted anthrax. I got my yearly anthrax booster shot yesterday, and I have a suspicion that it has caused a similar phenomenon in my body that the flu shot usually does: it gave me a mild form of the illness at hand. The flu shot always makes me feel poopy, and the anthrax shot made poop form in my arm.
Look at that thing!It's obvious that lump is harboring the anthrax virus within it's golf ball sized sphere. It was put there by the US Government just to keep the man down. That's terrorism at it's best, folks. The symptoms I am currently enjoying are:
- A giant lump where the shot was given.
- Soreness, redness and itching where the shot was given.
- Warm skin where the shot was given.
And the symptoms I am most likely to enjoy later are:
- Sterility
- Birth defects
- DEATH! (Ahh!)
Of course, the anthrax shot is (generally) safe. Like any medicine, it is capable of causing serious health problems (like the before mentioned death, which I think is the most serious of all health problems), but for the average Joe, nothing is going to happen. This is a mild allergic reaction to the vaccine. I'm the only soldier in my unit to present with any kind of allergic reaction, but that's how I roll. I like to keep people on their toes. So now I'm toting around an EpiPen just in case my anthrax suddenly flares and causes my throat to close up causing the most unpleasant side effect listed: death.
Are you dead yet? I'm assuming not. But that thing looks OUCHY. Damn. The Army needs to stop testing it's dangerous diseases on soldiers.
ReplyDeleteSame thing happenned to me on booster #2 but the welt ended up cuffing my entire upper arm and I was hospitalized for 2 days. Nine months later, I was forced to get booster #3. Please make sure to report this to VAERs. According to that site, only a handful of people have this kind of reaction and they can't definitively link it to the anthrax shot. I KNOW mine was the Anthrax shots, but the Army still insists it was not.
